User Option Post Listing Order
I'm searching to see if there is already a hack created that provides the members with being able to choose for themselves in user options which order they prefer the posts to be listed. I prefer latest post first, but a few of my members would like the first post at the beginning. I ran a few searches but maybe I'm not using the right keywords? Or maybe there isn't a hack for this yet? If not would this be relatively easy to implement?

i don't know if such a hack exists, but it wouldn't be hard to implement it
you have to add one field to usertable edit member.php and one user-cp template to allow a user to change the value and one really small change to showthread.php lets say you add the field postorder to your usertable, you have to change this in showthread.php: PHP Code:

Those file changes are more then some of the hacks here have. You should post your new hack so I can give you credit as one of your users :banana:
(I'm not sure why I just inserted that banana...I just saw it and it made me laugh...) Anyway, thanks for responding and for the code. :) |
np ;)
hmm, i think you're right, i should post more releases, but most of all i'm too laze to write a good installfile ;) also testing takes so much time, so i give more hints ;) |
Xenon,
did you ever list this as a hack? I've searched, but don't see anything in releases. |
no i didn't ;)
|
If i get around to it i may release it myself.
|
I would love to make this official and fine tune it with instructions, but I don't have the experience to do it efficiently.
Is anyone willing to make this a hack worthy of being released? |
Okay here is my trial go at it (no laughing :p )

Littlebit a suggestion if i may... just use Xenon's edit and then run the query...
PHP Code:
but thats just what i would do ;) don't know how Xenon would or anyone else... regards... g-force2k2 |
Looks good so...

I edited the post above to add your query instead...I'm not sure what you mean about making the option in newthread/newreply...is that what I did in member.php above? I thought it was the profile stuff. :ermm: |
Hi Xenon :classic: ,

some quick suggestions...
1) in member.php don't mess with the $options... make a new variable... such as $thepostorder=iif($thepostorder=="yes",1,0); 2)further down find the query that starts.. $DB_site->query("UPDATE user and add... postorder='$thepostorder', anywhere will work.. I added it right after .... emailonpm='$emailonpm',pmpopup='$pmpopup' 3)make sure that you change the template to reflect the variable name i.e. $thepostorder <tr> <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont> <b>Show posts in decending order?</b> </normalfont></td> <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont> <input type="radio" name="thepostorder" value="yes" $postorderchecked> yes <input type="radio" name="thepostorder" value="no" $postordernotchecked> no </normalfont></td> </tr> This worked for me. THEN I had to go in and make a bunch of changes to teh post numbers hack... but you won't need that unless you use that hack. Hope that helps, Kyle P.S. I can rewrite all this if you have probs... but it looks like you were almost there anyway! |
Kyle,
Thank you for the wonderful input :) I wouldn't say I'm almost there as far as doing it myself, however. :bandit: Xenon got the ball rolling with this stuff: Quote:
And I don't mind writing it out and pming it to anyone who wants to post it in the beta forum. I really think some people may find it useful other then us. What you said about the numbering posts hack. I was wondering how this would effect that hack earlier here . Oh duh! I just saw your reply in that thread. Thanks again :) |
